Proton should enable users to add any email as a calendar event similiarly to Outlook. That feels like table stakes to be competitive, and is a constant source of frustration for me since I switched to Proton. This should be built for both desktop and mobile.

Ideally, if I get a flight itinerary or something, a one button "add to calendar" with a summary of the information would be ideal, but I would settle for being able to click a date/time and make a calendar event, or anything (is better than nothing).

Is paramount to stay on-par with other mail providers.

Other Mail Clients like Apple, Gmail or Outlook offer the feature to create an event straight out of an E-Mail in the Inbox, so that the event already has the correct dates and the corresponding mail in it.

I need this to happen. Has there been any progress towards this at all? Even if we need to have a permissions thing added so "privacy" can be respected, it's so dang essential.

Bump. This is an important feature that should be implemented as soon as possible.

This is a critical add for me, Google Calendar, iOS, etc have had this feature for at least 5 years, if not longer. When I sign up for a webinar, get a doctors visit email confirmation, etc. I shouldn't need to re-create that even in Proton, on click add to calendar is essential.

I understand this request as the feature in Outlook: you receive an email, and you can create an event in the calendar. It doesn't need to be a meeting request or anything. I used it a lot at work, where we use Outlook, simply to block time to perform a task. Creating the event from the email is very convenient as sometimes they come with a link, or an attachment, or you know you'll do it like it two months and you wont' find the email.

@frlbmb I completely agree

I was thinking about this and then started thinking about why I persist with a product that is nearly the best but not quite because of some missing features, with not only email but also with proton drive on Linux.

Maybe we should be talking about what the alternatives are instead of posting about a feature that there seems to be just ignored.

I should point out that I am a paying user, so its not like I am expecting something for nothing.

Maybe I should switch to separate providers for cloud and storage. I am already using google drive for other options. I have no real need for secure storage and proton drive cant be mounted (on Linux at least).

I would love to know if anyone else has made the swap, but if they have, then I doubt they would be back here.

This is a critical feature that should be implemented, in order to be competitive and don't abandon users that rely on such feature coming from other ecosystems.

Like others have pointed out, most event confirmations/reminders aren't actual calendar reminders.Gmail sucks, but it has the ability to create ad hoc calendar events from non-invite emails, which is critical.

This is an essential feature. Especially considering some meetings invites get sent with only invite links to the meeting and not ICS files.

It would be great if logic could be somehow added to recommend that a calendar event be created based on the presence of a meeting link for popular collaboration platforms like Teams, Webex, or Zoom. Bonus points if it could also automagically detect the proposed time of the meeting based email body content and populate the calendar event with it.

Yes, this is an important feature. Any email in your Proton Mail inbox with a date (within the email body) should be able to be added to your Proton Calendar with one click—no question! This will make Proton Calendar a contender and primary citizen of your suite of applications. I’m surprised this feature doesn’t already exist. Are there specific reasons to the delay of this feature being implemented?

A button in ProtonMail to create an event from a mail. So that the calendar event contains all the information from the mail.

Absolutely critical to have. I just switched from an MS Exchange account to Proton and I already miss this functionality, which is offered in Outlook. I suspect that I will find more missing features in the calendar for my work.

An option for creating an event from an e-mail will be great. I'm thinking when I receive an e-mail fro the library with the return date. If I could create a new entry with title as e-mail subject and description with e-mail body. I want to choose the date, but the text fields already filled.It's just an example

Add to calendar: iCal / Google Calendar / Outlook...
Proton, you only pretend you exist!

Such a critical piece of functionality of the iOS app

When reading an email in Proton Mail provide a quick option button that will create a new Proton Calendar entry using the subject of the email as the title for the event and including anyone in the email thread as participants.
